WASHINGTON SOCIETY.
The Recognized Metropolitan Marriag
Market of America.

The Recognized Metropolitan Marriage
Market of America.
The woman from an inland city, no
matter how thoroughly in rapport with
society she has been, who for the first
time enters the social world at the Ma
tional capital will feel the novice. and,
if she he not remarkably self-possessed,
will act it. If were called upon to de-
scribe the brilliant aggregation there.
which attitudinizes as the finest expo
nent of American mind and manners, l
would say that it is u mockery of the
true genius of the people, is animated
by no impulse that is unseltish and is
sustained by appeals to few sensibilities
that arc really refined. 1t is an utterly
heartless world. 1t never allows you
to enter it unless you are useful, and
when you cease to be that you are
kicked out. The daughter of a Senator
sits in Il box ut the opera; the daughter
of an ex-senator you can find some-
where out in the audience. 1t is the
metropolitan marriage market of
America. Hearts are puppets, politics
wears the purple, and gold rules both.
A woman with a beautiful face and
figure sells higher in Washington than
IN any city in the United States. The
rich man who needs woman to pre-
side over his establishment and is will
ing to pay handsomely for the COM
modify is u familiar figure. Between
the impecunious and soulless girl OF
luxuriant charms and the less luxuriant
daughter of tho successful politician
there is deadly rivalry in the race to
become his property.
Very few women can you find in
Washington society that are not ready
to marry. Younger sisters are tabooed.
The girls you meet at receptions and
the german. If not exactly husband
hunters, are not averse to husbands.
II you can offer substantial induce
ments you can easily come to terms.
What are the termsp Simple enough;
why repeat them when they are SO we'll
known! To win woman in Washing
ton society man must be one of four
things-rich. power in politics. an
Apollo, or tho scion Of a noble family.
His chances of success are indicated in
the order of attractions named. II your
bank account be large you need have
none of the other qualifications. nor
need your cheek be valid, on tho other
hand, II you bea prominent political
factor; but II u handsome figure and
manly beauty be your only claims for
recognition your laurels are in danger,
though cases have been where women
of renown have laughed at the deorees
of fashion for fair face and ideal
lovers. Blue blood is at u discount,
ancestral honors arc a drug now that
the republic is one hundred wears old
and so many men have made their
names famous. And 1t has come to
pass, SO thoroughly has this positive
but unoxpvessed decree been under.
stood. that no men but those who fall
within the above category may be
found In Washington society.--CO
